Summary
Everton Park is a suburb in Brisbane’s northwest, about 15 kms from Brisbane’s CBD. The AEDC results showed a quarter of children were developmentally vulnerable on one or more of the domains.
Everton Park State School used the data to connect with local early childhood education and care services. It was decided to improve children’s transition to school by employing a Prep Transition Officer to develop a shared understanding of school readiness and work on transitions with early childhood services, parents and children.
